In the wake of decay, shadows linger long,
Fragments of a heartbeat echo in the dawn.
Silent whispers telling stories untold,
In the corners of this room where I once felt bold.
Shattered dreams like glass scattered on the floor,
Memories flow like rivers, but I can't find the shore.
The void between our laughter stretches far and wide,
As the ashes of our past barely coincide.
I walk through the silence, every breath a sigh,
Tracing lines of absence where our love used to lie.
Fading photographs tattered by the years,
Each one a reminder of our hopes and fears.
The city watches closely, still and unaware,
That beneath these soulless streets, there’s nothing left to spare.
A haunting melody plays just out of reach,
As I grasp at the echoes, lessons lost to teach.
And though the night is heavy with a cold embrace,
I find a flicker of light in this desolate space.
From the embers of what’s fallen, I gather every scar,
A testament to battles fought, I know just who we are.
So let the ashes settle, let the silence sing,
In this void of endings, new beginnings take wing.
And as the dawn awakens, casting shadows away,
I’ll rise from the remnants, stronger in the fray.
In the wake of decay, I’ll build a new refrain,
Turning ashes into stardust, breaking every chain.
Though the silence remains, I feel hope in the sway,
In the heart of the void, I’ll find my way.
